Current sociological research pretty heavily points to consumer disillusion and annoyance with the behavior of studios as the reason that they decide to pirate, to not go to theaters, and to pursue alternative forms of entertainment.

Most people are just as "unreasonable" as the grandparent, which is to say that they are highly reasonable and you are the unreasonable one.

I don't know if you remember a film from about forty years ago, where the general public was exhorted to admit that they were, in fact, "mad as hell," and as result, "not gonna take it any more." People are currently mad as hell, and now we're seeing them decide (unsurprisingly) to not take it any more.
